All Of These Positive Reviews Are Accurate.

This this app tuner was the first paid app I installed on my first iPhone back in 2009 after learning about it via a very talented music producer who was the engineer at Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia Washington. He used the this app tuner to tune all of the instruments we used on some recording sessions there, all the while heaping praises on this supposedly incredibly accurate strobe tuner he had on his iPhone. At the time, the concept of professional quality studio gear on a phone was foreign to me, and a fairly new concept in general. Honestly back then the whole concept of apps on phones, let alone paying 10 bucks for an app on a phone, was a new concept in general. But after a week of working with my friend in the studio and witnessing the accuracy of the this app tuner - as well as enjoying its beautiful interface - downloading and paying for this app was the first thing I did when I got my first iPhone a few weeks later. I have used it exclusively ever since, and it has been worth every penny. Peterson makes some of the best strobe tuners out there, and the price on such hardware can run in the thousands of dollars, so having access to that same Peterson quality in an affordable iPhone app is priceless!
BEST TUNER, Just GET IT!

Finnally a tuner that does not flash and jump around and leave you gussing. So easy to slow down the strobe. Makes so much sense to pluck a string and let it resonate while the string is tuned. Very sensitive using my iPad Pro. Having cents show is a great feedback that further increases confidence. I've found the string's tuning jumps a few cents after letting go of the tuner. Easy to get use to and anticipate so you end up with tuining within fractions of cents. Also, never made sense to bang away at the string to keep the volume loud enough for my old clip on, or in line tuners. Not using a pick was a piece of information that didn't jump out at me. My local luther had made a comment that my guitar was tuned sharp. I had tuned my brand new guitar with a pick before heading to the luther.

Peterson is the best, Love the Sweetened tunings for my acoustic guitar. However, I have to use GuitarTuna first before this app can recognize the note or string correctly , then fine tune the guitar. This is especially true with cheaper guitars . “Peterson” please make an easy mode for the standard tuning we use 90% of the time. E A D G B E mode for a six string guitar only, all other notes are just off at this point.
Simply the best.

This tuner is incredible. It has helped me set the intonation on all 5 of my guitars with a degree of accuracy I could have never imagined. And for $10. It’s a no brained. Buy the app, you won’t regret it. I recommend the guitar tuning sweetener as well. Finally, if you want this tuner to preform like it’s in a lab spring for the adapter cable. You can plug your guitar directly into the phone (gotta use that stupid dongle) and it will take all the extraneous noise out of the act of tuning your guitar. Along with the money spent on the app, the $13 for the adapter was money well spent. I don’t care how good your sense of pitch is, this app, especially with the the adapter, is simply better.
